L. Come! Listen! A voice cries out: “In the wilderness, prepare the way of the Lord; make straight in the desert a highway for our God.”

P. We come, and we wait in the just peace of the coming Messiah.

L. Pay attention! God is removing barriers and leveling the playing field, making a way for all people to witness the glory of the Lord.

P. We pay attention, and we wait in the just peace of the coming Messiah.

L. We wait, and we work as God’s landscapers, filling in valleys and making rough places a plain, bringing justice where conflicts and obstacles once reigned.

P. We wait, and we work in the just peace of the coming Messiah.

L. As we gather, may we prepare our voices to proclaim and our hands to get messy as our lives declare the coming of our Savior and Comforter.

P. We come to worship and to grow in the just peace of Jesus Christ, the coming Messiah. Amen.
